New Zealand all-rounder Dion Nash has announced his retirement from international cricket.

The 30-year-old said he is undecided about whether he will continue playing at domestic level.

Nash, plagued by a hip injury he suffered last year, played in 32 Tests, making his debut against Zimbabwe in Harare in 1992.

He took 93 wickets at an average of 28.48 and scored 729 runs at 23.51.

The Aucklander also played 81 one-day internationals, taking 64 wickets and scoring 624 runs.

His most memorable performance was taking 11 wickets for 169 in the drawn second Test against England at Lords in 1994.

Special time

However, it was the winning tour of England five years later which he described as a career highlight.

"Specifically the (victorious) Oval Test," he said. "There was a long build-up and a lot involved.

"The team grew so much over that time so to come through and win that series was one of the most special times I can remember."

Two weeks ago he said he was frustrated that specialists had been unable to provide a diagnosis on his hip problems.

"I can bowl now but I know things aren't right and I have to know if it's going to be trouble in the future," Nash said at the time.

Nash had a controversial domestic season.

He was banned for three games for abusing an umpire and an opposing batsman while playing for Auckland against Otago in December.
